Hi!  I'm Shawnelle

Shawnelle Cherry in a sea of fabric in DTL
I own Future Fashion Designers in Mooresville, NC - 15 years now!  I took my love and skill of sewing to the next level.   I turned it into a long career of fashion design and costume design.
After working in the garment district of Los Angeles,  I started my own design studio in Pacific Palisades, Ca creating gowns for the Hollywood crowd for the Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes...
10 years later, burn out set in and I changed gears and went into Costume Design for feature films.  I have designed 33 films to date.  I love to design for comedies because that is where I find the most creative opportunities.
With productions moving to the east coast, I moved to NC for what I was thought was a temporary move :)  Then I got a hairbrained idea to open a school to teach kids to sew and found I loved that as well. 
I am still in the Costume Designers Guild and am open to working on films just not looking as I have so many other things on my plate. 
I fell right in to the small (big) town activities, operate the school, create activities and events in the community and bonus have lots of adults who want to learn to sew too!
This year, I am writing a book about my favorite skirt. And having fun with my YouTube channel. I figure I'll go back to the movie business when I'm older since all the Oscar winners are in their later years, I still have time!  Until then, I am loving the creative sewing time!
